Dimethicone Lotion For Treating Head Lice

Step by step for treating head lice with 4% dimethicone lotion

To use 4% dimethicone lotion, take the following steps: 

• put the lotion on to dry hair
• work it in around the head and cover the hair with the lotion right to the ends
• use enough lotion to completely moisten the hair and scalp
• comb the hair with an ordinary comb to make sure the lotion covers all the hair evenly
• leave the lotion to dry naturally
• wait at least 8 hours before washing the hair with your normal shampoo
• there's no need to cover the hair with a wrap
• head lice can't move within a minute of being covered with 4% dimethicone lotion
• you can use a fine-tooth head lice comb to remove the remaining eggs after treatment and any dead lice that were not washed out - this step is not essential
• repeat in 7 days
